A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

21,812 Citations1982J A Hanley, Barbara J. McNeil
A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.

A discretized analog disability scale (DISS) which uses visual-spatial, numeric and verbal descriptive anchors to assess disability across three domains: work, social life and family life is developed and has proved to be very sensitive to change in drug treatment studies in psychiatry.

Results suggest that the CPSQI is a psychometrically sound measure of sleep quality and disturbance for patients with primary insomnia and may not be an effective screening tool because of its low specificity, but can be a sensitive, reliable, and valid outcome assessment tool for use in community-based studies of primary insomnia.

The present findings provide qualified justification for the use of telephone interviews to collect axis I and II data, and the apparent concerns do not appear sufficient to override the economic and logistic advantages of telephone interviewing.

The goal of calibration rather than validation was adopted, which asked whether WMH‐CIDI diagnoses are ‘consistent’ with diagnoses based on a state‐of‐the‐art clinical research diagnostic interview (SCID; Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐IV) rather than whether they are ’correct’.
Archives of General PsychiatryA Proposed Solution to the Base Rate Problem in the Kappa Statistic
488 Citations1985Edward L. Spitznagel
A statistic for the quantification of agreement is proposed (the Y statistic), which can be related to kappa but which is completely independent of prevalence in the case of validity studies and relatively so in the cases of reliability.

459 Citations1992Kenneth S. Kendler
Nine commonly used definitions of major depression, which produced life-time prevalence rates ranging from 12% to 33%, were examined and the results of model fitting to twin correlations suggested that the liability to depression results from genetic factors and environmental experiences unique to the individual.
